RNAi technology for management of banana bunchy top disease
Banana bunchy top disease (BBTD) is one of the world's most destructive viral disease of banana and plantain causing up to 100% yield loss in severe cases. Biotechnological strategies via RNAi could be used to target banana aphid as well as__banana bunchy top virus__(BBTV) to reduce virus‐passociated yield losses of banana and plantain, which feed over

siRomics for universal diagnostics of plant viral disease and virus diversity studies [PDF]
Traditional methods of viral diagnostics using specific antibodies and PCR often fail to identify a viral pathogen. In our EU Marie-Curie IDP bridges project, we used an alternative novel approach called siRomics which allows not only to detect the ...
